"Walk On By"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpOCEBqS1wU

Walk on by
Dont waste your time

The door is open
It's sublime
"The waters fine"
Don't drown in the lies
That the matrix constructs
To cover up the light
A day in the life
of a corporate avenger
Who god sent to offend ya
All day and all ######6 night
Born to ride, Down for life
I'll be down for whatever
Better treat me right

Just walk on by
Dont waste your time
You'll never know me
And this life of mine
Just walk on by
Dont waste your time
You'll never control me
And this life of mine

The gods have spoken
In written word
The books are open
But few have heard
What the mystery teachings
Are waiting to ignite
Another day in the life of
the peoples defender
Whom god sent to avenge ya
All day and all ######6 night
Born to ride, Down for life
I'll be down for whatever
Better treat me right

Just walk on by
Dont waste your time
You'll never know me
And this life of mine
Just walk on by
Dont waste your time
You'll never control me
And this life of mine

What a shame
We're reading all the wrong books in vain
It's a sin, such a crime
We dance to all the wrong songs in time
WE'LL HAVE TO DECIDE

You will never take control of me
I wont let you take control

Get up, get up

Mind your own ######6 business

Check it out man
You do what you do
I'm gonna do what im gonna do
I'm really not looking for any trouble man
So just leave me alone, alright?
###$ OFF

Just walk on by
Dont waste your time
You'll never know me
And this life of mine
Just walk on by
Dont waste your time
You'll never control me
And this life of mine

###$ YOU
You cant control me

You will never take control of me
I wont let you take control

====

The ultimate "###$ off" song for anyone who's tired of people's $#%^.

CREED - My Own Prison

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YoUuwDZuW0

A court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today
Just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale
The cage made of steel
Screams fill the room
Alone I drop and kneel
Silence now the sound
My breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around
My face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence
Expecting no return
Here there is no penance
My skin begins to burn

(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh) We're all held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

I hear a thunder in the distance
See a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given
On that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness
Only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden
And grant me life eternally

Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh) We're all held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

[Guitar break]

I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison
I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison

(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh) We're all held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh) We're all held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one

Should've been dead on a Sunday morning
banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time

RED - Let Go

Hey you, look what you do to me
You bend and you bruise me
While you try to control me
But you don't know me
How come you just want to hurt me?
How come you just want to push me?
I can't ignore you anymore
Cause everywhere I turn you
You burn me, you break me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't wanna be evaded, it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading!!!!!!
Just let go! (look what you do to me)
Let go! (look what you do to me)

Hey you, look what you do to me
You burnt and you scared me
With all that you tell me (but I'm not listening)
You love me, you hate me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?

I don't wanna be afraid I don't wanna run away
I don't wanna be evaded, it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading!!!!
Just let

You kept pushing me
You keep using me
You keep twisting me
You keep breaking me
You can't have me anymore [x3]
You can't have me, let go!

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't wanna be evaded, it's more that I can take

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't wanna be evaded It's more than I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading!!!
Just Let go!
Let go! Just Let go! (I don't wanna be afraid)
Let go! (I don't wanna be afraid)
Just let go!

The first time I heard this song it reminded me of myself and what I go through. Very inspirational too.

"Black Heart" - Chimaira

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja81MI-Nvlg

Black heart dead soul
Apathy and misery
Loss of control
Any of the above would describe me
I hate being inhuman
All I do is ###$ everything up
Someone just please put a gun to my head

I just don't care anymore
I'm broken tired and sore
I just don't care anymore
From my black heart

Faceless humans
Just want to get inside me
Shut down long ago
Not even the closest know me
Like a leper everything I touch
Rots dies then turns to dust
Everyone should just stay away from me

I just don't care anymore
I'm broken tired and sore
I just don't care anymore
From my black heart

Aside from the typical "chugga chugga" riff that you hear in Metal, it's ridden with avoidant, anti-social jargon.

Listened to it all the time when I had a bad day.

I can definetly agree that music has been a friend to me throughout my life.

There are a few songs I can really relate to, I always felt RadioHead 'Creep' totally described how I feel. Another one is 'In The Garage' by Weezer.


In the Garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song

I'll vote for radioheads; how to disappear completely. for me it evokes something i can relate to, using imagination to escape from the sometimes less than pleasant reality

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Offend in Every Way by The White Stripes for me.

I'm patient of this plan
as humble as I can
I'll wait another day
before I turn away
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
offend in every way
I don't know what to say

I'm coming through the door
but they're expecting more
of an interesting man
sometimes I think I can
but how much can I fake
I'll speak until I break
with every word I say
offend in every way

You tell me to relax
and listen to these facts
that everyone's my friend
and will be till the end
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
no matter what I say
offend in every way

Teddy Thompson - I Should Get Up

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sq3kVDdnWM

Depression looms
I’m such a miserable fool
I stay in bed
I don’t wanna got to school
But I see the sun
is beating down
No excuses from the clouds

I should get up
I should get out
I’m sure there’s something
I can’t do without
I should get up
I should get up
I should get up

I’ve heard it said
that life will pass you by
Live underground pretty soon that’s where you lie
But I feel so warm in my room
I’m safe and sound
inside my tomb


I should get up
I should get out
I’m sure there’s something
I can’t do without
I should get up
I should get up
I should get up

The world goes on without me
I know it
I know it
No one misses
the quiet kid
And there are things
I may have missed
But living ignorance is bliss
I’m so wrapped up in myself
I got no time for
Everyone else

I should get up
I should get out
I’m sure there’s something
I can’t do without
I should get up
I should get up
I should get up
I should go out
I’m sure there’s something
I can’t do without
I should get up
I should get up
I should get up

James - Say Something (Youtube video)

Youre as tight as a hunters trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide

Say something, say something, anything
Ive shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
Youve got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life

Say something, say something anything
Ive shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Say something

Im open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Pay me in kind

Lake of Tears - Planet of the Penguins

Light in your eyes, a shine
As you made it on your own
Throughout a world of stone
You made it on your own

Time it is only time, a line
you waited for a while
and now time has passed you by
you lost the light within your eye
time has passed you by

There are dark days ahead
you wish you were other wheres instead
waiting for the day you'll be dead
you will always be scared

Light, there is no more light
Now you made it on your own
into a world of stone
